'Goodnight Moon' is always a classic. It has a simple and soothing story, which is perfect for story time, especially in November when the evenings are getting colder and kids might need some calming bedtime stories. The repeated phrases in the book are easy for toddlers to pick up and say along.
'Leaves' by David Ezra Stein is a wonderful November - themed book for toddlers. It tells the story of a bear experiencing the changing of the seasons, specifically the fall when the leaves are changing. The simple story and warm illustrations make it a great choice for story time.
'Turkey Trouble' is another good one. With Thanksgiving in November in the US, this book with its cute turkey character trying to avoid being on the dinner table is both funny and educational for toddlers. It can also be used to start conversations about the holiday.
One great option is 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit'. It has elements related to Easter like the bunnies, and it's a classic story that toddlers can enjoy. The colorful illustrations can keep their attention.
One popular toddlers bed time story is 'The Three Little Pigs'. It's about three little pigs who build houses of different materials to protect themselves from the big bad wolf. Another great one is 'Goodnight Moon'. It has a soothing rhythm and takes children through a simple bedtime routine in a little bunny's room. And 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' is also a classic. It tells the story of a little girl who enters the bears' house and tries their things.
In November 2017, 'The City of Brass' by S. A. Chakraborty was released. Although it has elements of fantasy blended with science fiction, it offers a richly detailed world. 'New York 2140' by Kim Stanley Robinson is also from that time. It shows a future New York flooded by climate change, which has interesting implications for society and technology. And then there's 'Raven Stratagem' by Yoon Ha Lee, which continues the complex space - opera saga in an imaginative way.
It's important because it boosts their imagination. Through stories, toddlers can envision different worlds and characters, expanding their creativity. Also, it's a great bonding time with parents or caregivers.

One simple craft is making a paper plate Santa. Cut out a circle from a paper plate for Santa's face. Let the toddler glue on cotton balls for his beard and draw on the eyes and nose. Another idea is to make a Christmas star out of popsicle sticks. The toddler can paint the sticks and then you can help them glue the sticks together to form a star. This can be related to the star in the Christmas story.
I'm not sure specifically what the cover story was on that date without looking it up. You can try checking Time Magazine's archives or their official website for the exact story.
Well, one way is to incorporate simple rhymes and songs during story time. Another is to let the kids interact by asking them questions or having them point to things in the story. Using puppets or toys related to the story can also be fun and enriching.
Start with simple and colorful illustrations. Make the stories have repetitive elements and easy language. Keep them short and engaging.
